Feeling conned by the process of therapy

As I was thinking about how long it has taken me to trust my therapist I suddenly realized it's an artificial environment. She isn't artificial (so far as I can tell) but the setting and the process is. The entire thing is set up to facilitate opening up to a stranger. How does learning to trust a therapist change anything about whether other people can be trusted? Not to mention the hurt of trusting them only to eventually not have support again anyway. The whole thing seems like a recipe for disaster. via /r/TalkTherapy https://ift.tt/2FrCzxA
